I. Listening Comprehension (共10分)

Section A （共6分，每小题2分）

Direction: In Section A, you will hear one short passage, and you will be asked three questions on the passage. The passage will be read twice, but the question will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.

Question 1 through 3 are based on the following passage.

Cheese-rolling has been a tradition in the town of Brockworth since the early 1800s. But what happens in this old and locally famous competition? It’s quite simple, really. First, the competitors come together at the top of a hill named “Cooper’s Hill.” The slope of the hill is very steep —almost 45 degrees!

Then they wait for someone to push a very large wheel of cheese down the hill. The competitors then run very quickly after it. The cheese may reach up to 40 miles per hour. The competitors go pretty fast, too! The first one to the bottom of the hill wins. What’s the prize for such an unusual event? It’s the wheel of cheese —of course!

Many people enjoy the cheese-rolling races of Brockworth. However, the race can be dangerous. You never know the route the cheese will take as it rolls down the hill. A few years ago, 30 people were injured in an accident at a race. One of the cheeses rolled down the hill too quickly and suddenly went into the crowd. Some of the spectators were hit by the cheese. Now, the competition route has crash barriers. They protect the crowd from the cheese —and from the competitors!

It’s not just the spectators who get injured, the competitors do as well. This is especially true when the weather is very cold. There are also more injuries when there hasn’t been much rain before the race. One organizer for the event explains, “It’s when the ground is really hard ... that’s when the injuries are going to happen.”

But the hard ground doesn’t seem to stop the competitors. Every year there are a lot of people who keep on going down Cooper’s Hill. So what drives these runners? What makes them do it? Are they crazy? The cheese racers of Brokworth may be crazy. However the crowds keep on cheering, and the competitors keep on running —year after year. It seems that a lot of people are very happy to try this dangerous run. Is it for the fame? Is it for the fun? We may never know, but you can almost be sure of one thing; it’s not only for the prize. It’s more than just cheese that makes people want to win Brockworth’s annual cheese-rolling race!

Questons:

1.How fast may the cheese reach up to?

2.Who will win the cheese-rolling?

3.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
